The Beatles have mostly avoided the digital age so far. But that stance ends Sept. 9 when the Fab Four's entire digitally remastered catalog and Beatles: Rock Band will be released for the first time to a public still hungry for ways to interact with the legendary pop quartet.

Apple Corps. and EMI announced Tuesday the worldwide release date for 14 remastered Beatles titles, including the band's original 12 albums plus Magical Mystery Tour and a combined disc featuring both volumes of the greatest-hits collection Past Masters. Each remastered effort was transferred to Pro Tools through a Prism A-D converter, with dust removed from the EMI tape head after each track. To keep the integrity of the recordings intact, de-noising technology and overall volume limiting was used sparingly. The project took four years to complete.

The remasters will be stacked with replications of the vinyl releases' original artwork and supplements, and also packed with extra archival goodies like photos, liner notes and more, including new documentaries on each album compressed into QuickTime files.

As for The Beatles: Rock Band, it will be the first in the franchise to be based on a single band, and will be released on Wii, Xbox and PlayStation 3 for $60. A deluxe bundle with custom-designed instruments modeled on those used by the Fab Four will also be available for $250, although the game will work with Rock Band's standard controllers.

The game will feature songs from Please Please Me through Abbey Road, as well as a visual and musical history of the group and material that has never been seen or heard before. The songs, however, will not be offered as downloads for other Rock Band titles.

Wired.com will chat about this and more with Dhani Harrison, son of late Beatles guitarist George Harrison and one of the prime figures behind the Fab Four's transition to the digital age. "It's been a real headache, but it's been the most enjoyable work I've done in my life," Harrison told Billboard in March.

We'll also talk about Dhani Harrison's band, thenewno2, which takes its name from the revolutionary cult TV series The Prisoner, whose visionary writer, director and actor Patrick McGoohan died in January. Have any questions you'd like to ask Harrison about the Beatles' digital life, The Prisoner or anything else? Let us know with a comment below.
